Typical garment hangers inhotels are wood hanger with two clips for holding skirt or trousers.Such hangers can hold men's long trousers too. However, the spring forthose clips should be very stiff to hold a long men's trouser. And thebelts should be removed from the trouser to reduce the weight. For mostof house or apartment, the closets for garments are not tall enough tokeep men's entire trouser in stretched state. Therefore, most of men'strouser closet, tall closet, is always crowded with trousers. It ispurpose of the current application to provide a garment hanger that canhold men's trouser safely in a short closet space. A men's suit hangerwith trouser holding clips is provided.

The spring has one coiled center part and two tipsthat are folded perpendicular to the coiled center part. One or twosegmental circular toes are developed on the coiled center part pointingthe opposite direction of the two tips. A crossing bar of the men's suithanger according to current application receives and holds these toes.And the two folded tips are engaged to matching grooves that aredeveloped on the inner side of the grips.

If the closet is not high enough, people mustfold the trousers (3) and engage the trousers (3) to the clips.

The trousersholding clip (11) is comprised of two jaw members (13), each of which iscomprised of one grip (14) and one long side wing (12), and one spring(15). The spring (15) has one coiled center part (16) and two tips (17)that are folded perpendicular to the coiled center part (16). One or twosegmental circular toes (18) are developed on the coiled center part(16) pointing the opposite direction of the two tips (17).
